Abstract:
Analytical and numerical studies of the energy density spatial distribution of a fluctuating electric field near the model ionic crystal surface as a function of temperature are carried out. It is established that the fluctuating field energy density decreases as $h^{-3.3}$ with increasing distance $h$ from the crystal surface. The fluctuating field energy increases with temperature and differs from zero at -273$^\circ$C due to quantum zero-point vibrations of ions in the lattice.
